Fresh Plus Buffet

December 22, 2007

While walking along a shopping strip in Zhongguancun , we stumbled upon a buffet dining area which looks snobbish at first, but since we were facinated with the ambiance and desserts, we managed to walk in and asked about the price of the best-looking dessert on the display stand. Luckily, we were able to talk to one of the marketing managers of the restaurant. She was very accomodating even if we looked like students (cheapstake ones). She toured us around the restaurant which I think was very chic. After letting us look at the entrees on the buffet tables, she gave us a dozen or more discount vouchers (20 kuai off!) to distribute amongst our friends in BLCU.

The buffet restaurant is called Fresh Plus International. The lunch buffet is originally 90 RMB per person but with our discount voucher, we managed to have a value-for-money buffet meal! Everytime you eat there, they will replace the discount voucher with new ones so that you can invite friends/family to try the restaurant. This is a good marketing strategy in my opinion. In our stay, we got to invite more than 20 people to try out the buffet restaurant. We even spent our Christmas Eve Dinner here in the pleasant room we reserved though that time, the price was jacked up doubling the usual price for it but nevertheless, it was still satisfying.

The entrees were first-class, top notch…deliciously tempting that I was going back to the buffet table almost 5 times..which is double my normal buffet rounds. I was simply impress by their service (you can leave a number of your table so that the waiters can deliver to your table your specific dish you let them cook).

According to one website:

This first-class buffet restaurant offers light Japanese cuisine, plentiful and diverse Chinese fare, and meticulously prepared Western dishes with exquisite deserts.
The executive chef insists on choosing the freshest ingredients and the best seasonings and condiments to ensure each dish has outstanding quality from the outset.

My favorite is the Clam chowder in Puffed Pastry.

My friend Dan also got to take a nice picture of our food.
